When it comes to health, people do not share the same opportunities. Addressing health inequality and closing gaps in healthcare requires worldwide collaboration and raises a difficult question: who is responsible for our health? In partnership with the WHO Foundation, a new online series, produced for WHO Foundation and partners by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions, sets out to explore how we can become healthier together. 

The new film series 'Healthier Together: A path to a better world’ looks into transformative, equitable and replicable programmes and initiatives which seek to address health inequity around the globe. The programmes and initiatives featured involve both healthcare providers and many different organisations working towards universal health coverage and ‘Health for All’. The series hopes to help reframe the public perception of the evolving healthcare ecosystem and inspire active participation and engagement from individuals and organisations.

Through the Healthier Together film series, WDF and its long-term partners the Royal Health Awareness Society (RHAS) and the Ministry of Health (MoH) were provided a unique opportunity to tell the story of their efforts to strengthen NCD prevention and access to care for both refugee populations and host communities in Jordan.
